Health - 17 July 2007

I have had strange health issues now for almost a year & none of the doctors I've been to see can pin down a diagnosis, despite extensive blood tests, x-rays & other tests. I have seen a PCP, a holistic MD & a MD of internal medicine, & an orthopedist. I have been tested for everything from RA to Lyme disease to TB to pinched nerves & every possible hypothesis has turned up negative so far. A lot of the symptoms are generalized--such as fatigue, chonic sinusitus, achy joints, chronic back and neck pain, stress & being slightly overweight. I went to see a doctor several years ago because of intermittent pain & numbness in my arms, from the elbow down to the hand. Over the years, it has increased in frequency & duration to the point that it happens daily and is severe. I also had a bout of internal eye inflammation recently & my ESR rate has been weird the 3 times it was tested. I've been told to wait to see what else goes wrong & then do more tests. Any suggestions on what to do?

In the middle of the night, I woke up when I felt my arm really itchy. Then my middle finger started getting itchy to. All of a sudden i hear 2 buzzes near me. I thought it was coming from outside cuz i had my window open. So I TRY going back to sleep but the buzzes came again. I thought it was coming from my head. So my mom wakes me up to close the garage door and when she leaves I start scrathing my left arm, where I then felt a ball under my skin..know wat im talkng about?

Right now, I'm in pain. For about 2 weeks I've had this lower back pain. It's been getting progressively worse. It's really bad in the morning. Can't bend over to put on my socks or my pants. Can't bend over at all really. Later on, it starts feeling better. Feels good when I lay down. But when I wake up in the morning, it's hell. I don't have insurance so I can't go see a chiropractor. Does anyone else have this problem, and if you do, what do you do? Is it just my muscles? I don't work out anymore, I started a desk job and am still getting used to it.

With the talk of changing the donation system to everyone automatically being 'in' unless we opt out, what would happen to someone who had made a declaration to opt out of donating only to find at some point they became in need of an organ donation themselves, would they be none eligible to recieve ...... the system has to work both ways doesn't it??

I am a 27 year old guy and I feel like an absolute failure since I have never been in a romantic relationship. I am alright looking, traveled the world, owned my own house and work as a pilot in the aviation industry. People looking at my life seem to think I have it all. The thing is I consider all these things I have done a failure because of the fact I have never had a girlfriend or any genuine friends. I cry often when I am alone.

I had hopes and dreams once of getting married and having a family. Will it ever happen? I sometimes feel like just flying my plane into a mountain (no passengers on board) How can I find happiness? I am good person I just find it really hard to meet genuine honest people!

What do you generally eat for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and which snacks, drinks and "guilty foods" do you allow yourself to indulge in once in a while? How often and for how long do you work out and what does your workout consist of? If you don't mind sharing - what is your current size, and have you always been at this size or have you lost weight to get to the size you are today? If so, how long did it take? Also, please feel free to share any other info in regard to this topic you may find useful and worth sharing. Thank you.

I remember this topic from a biopsychology class that I took a couple of years ago, but can't remember the specifics. Let me know where you find your answer, if possible.

I'm currently eating Glucosamine pill but am considering to apply Glucosamine cream to affected areas such as knees and fingers as an additional treatment to improve my joints. But does it really works? Any first-hand experiences? Please share with me.

I'm short sighted, I can't see past 1 foot (about 30cm) without things becoming blurry and yet I haven't worn glasses for about 4/5 years. I know your eyes are connected directly to your brain so is it possible that by not wearing glasses I'm hurting more than just my vision?
